The Inevitable Suicide of Daniel Whitaker - Robert Steadman

Daniel Whitaker is a successful writer both lauded in the literary community and popular with readers but, while doing some online research about the world of paedophiles for a new book, he is arrested and charged. His life has always been a bit of a rollercoaster ride but nothing could prepare him for how his life is affected by what he maintains is a dreadful miscarriage of justice.

 Eventually he decides that there is no other solution than suicide. This book, in effect, is his suicide note - explaining his life, his actions and his reasons for ending his life.

Dan talks about his privileged upbringing, his time in Oxford, his drug and alcohol-fuelled life as a journalist and his career as a writer, as well as his attempts to clear his name. He speaks with fondness about his two children and he expresses his fears for their future.
